Kosovo’s Minister of European Integration Bekim Collaku in an op-ed published in the paper announces that Kosovo will officially sign the Stabilisation and Association Agreement (SAA) on 27 October in Strasbourg. Collaku says this represents a historic moment for Kosovo and a turning point in relations with European Union which will now be advanced to a contractual level. No doubt, the agreement will not only bring benefits but also obligations both in the political and economic fields but it also marks Kosovo’s first official step towards EU integration, writes Collaku stressing that the SAA is not however a gift to Kosovo but rather “an affirmative assessment” of the progress. “Kosovo is now entering a new era, by advancing European perspective from the rhetorical to a formal and practical level. This motivates us even more in continuing work towards implementation of obligations we take on,” Colllaku writes.
